The English name Kazapple has referred to the Japanese spells ミナデイン and ジゴデイン throughout the localization history of the series under [[Square Enix]]. Briefly, it is the English name of whole-party spell ミナデイン in  ''IV''~''VII'' of the mainline games, and the fourth tier Lightning spell ジゴデイン in every entry in the ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monsters]]'' games after the first ''Joker'' title. Both ミナデイン and ジゴデイン appear in ''XI'', with the current English localization delegating ミナデイン as [[Kazapstrophe]].

Kazapple is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at level 37 and deals 330~350 Lightning damage to one foe, requires 15 {{MP}} from every party member to cast. As such, it cannot be used if [[Alena]], [[Ragnar McRyan]], or [[Torneko Taloon]] are in the {{Party 4}}.

Kazapple is learned by Kazapple is learned by {{Parry}} at level 38, and by the {{Conkuistador R}} at level 60. It costs every party member 10 MP to cast but as [[Tuppence]] is the only human character to gain MP the requirements are much less strict for most party configurations. Because Parry cannot equip the [[duplic hat]] in the {{SFC}} version, the spell cannot be echoed.

Kazapple is learned by reaching rank 8 of the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero vocation]], the Legend. The power has been double to 600~700 and costs every party member 10 MP as in before. Unlike in {{V}}, all human characters gain MP and thus the player is not limited by his or her party configuration. Kazapple has the quickest activation speed of any ability in the game, activating before [[Kaclang]] and [[Forbearance]]. The spell will only echo with the duplic hat in the original {{SFC}} version.

Kazapple has all the parameters of the previous game, but due to the presence of powerful skills such as [[Blade of Ultimate Power]] it is sub-optimal to use in battle.

Kazapple was used by a variety of monsters and was added to [[Anlucia]]'s spell repertoire for the version 5.3 update onwards, thus making it available to players. It costs 27 MP to cast and the damage range will depend on the user, with the lowest end for monsters being 250~350 and the high end being approximately 600.

Kazapple is a three-person [[Pep]] power that is available to players when the {{Luminary}} learns [[Zapple]] and [[Jade]] masters [[Lightning Storm]]. When used, [[Jade]] and [[Rab]] will channel magical energy to the {{Luminary}} who sends it crashing down on all enemies. The damage calculation is based on the sum of The {{Luminary}} and his [[Rab|grandfather]]'s {{Magical Might}}, capping for 594~654 at 975 {{Magical Might}}. Furthermore, the spell has a 25% chance to [[Paralysis|Paralyze]] foes and a 25% chance to lower their resistance to Lighting by one stage.

Kazapple has the same parameters as in the previous two games.

*The Japanese particle ミナ (mina) is used to convey that the spell requires the aid of the whole party in order to cast.

==Trivia==

*Kazapple appeared in a preview image seen in issue 36 of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's 1989 edition, where it was shown dealing 520 damage to a monster. This higher voltage output was likely lowered during the development of ''IV'' for balancing the end-game's difficulty.
